Netmarble has officially launched its action game Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the company announced on November 4. The release extends the title beyond PC, where it debuted last year.

Players can buy a Standard Edition or a Deluxe Edition from each platform's store. Buyers of the Deluxe Edition receive an exclusive "Sung Jinwoo: Overdrive" skin and a Cha Hae-in emoji set.

Built for PC and console

The game is based on the global hit Solo Leveling: Arise, but was developed specifically for PC and console environments. It offers content such as cooperative battles for up to four players and Sung Jinwoo's "Monarch battle" mode, which reflects the story of the original work.

Netmarble also reworked combat feel for console play. The game introduces guard and parry mechanics for blocking or deflecting enemy attacks, and a quick-time event that briefly incapacitates an enemy after a successful parry. It also includes an "Overdrive" system built around each hunter's traits and a "Chain Smash" system designed to maximize skill combinations.

Strong start on Steam

The title first launched on November 25 last year on Steam and the Xbox PC platform. According to the company, it ranked eighth in global Steam sales shortly after release. It also placed seventh in the United States and fifth in Germany and France, putting it among the top-grossing games in key Western markets.

With the console launch, Netmarble is aiming to carry that Western PC momentum over to a wider console audience.
